Did you forget to include something in your tax return, or did you not get the refund you were expecting? Don't worry. You typically have two years from the date of assessment to lodge an amendment. TAS-Australia can help you in fixing your issue.

if you made a mistake

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognizes that there are times when you make mistakes. Life is busy, and there are so many things to remember, it's easy to make a simple mistake in your tax return. There are a number of common mistakes people make when filling out an income tax return, such as forgetting to include:

income such as interest from a bank account, or income from a previous job

There are many reasons why you may need to fix a mistake in an income tax return you have already lodged. This is called lodging an amendment. The ATO know there will be times you will need to make a change because your circumstances have changed, and some people who did not reveal all their income or incorrectly claimed deductions will want to get their tax affairs in order. Telling the tax office allows you to bring your tax affairs into order and making a voluntary disclosure will limit any penalties that they may apply. The important thing is that as soon as you realized the information you have reported to them, is no longer accurate, you act to correct it.

if I disagree with a tax assessment

There may also be times when you disagree with a tax assessment, a penalty, an interest charge on an unpaid debt or some other decision the tax office have made about your tax affairs, including a private ruling. Bring in a print out of your current and/or past years tax return(s). TAS-Australia can assist you.
